Moscow's fall semester alley cat has come and gone. Everything went really smooth with just under 40 racers coming out to compete in Mind E-Racer. With the race starting at East City Park, riders were given their manifest a few minutes before the race began. What everyone didn't know was that at one of the stops during the race they were going to be given a second manifest.
Once the race was on, people had to take Mind Erasers at one stop. Go to the University of Idaho library and find the title of a book of the given call number. The title was race appropriate, "Mash." From there you could continue finding things around campus or head out to the mall where we had Claire signing manifests. People then began their trek back into town only to find the second manifest at Mikey's Gyros. There were another four stops that included One World Cafe, Taco Bell, Student Union Building, and the Bagel Shop. Once finished with the second manifest it was an all out sprint to the finish for those that found the end location at John's Alley Tavern.
